Fan Xian is a person with a weak nature.

Selfish, defensive, ruthless, realistic, cruel, shrewd, decisive in killing, and able to assess the situation.

Zhou Ji didn't know what Fan Xian was like in the TV series version, so he could only look at him based on the original work in his memory.

These characters may seem derogatory, but they are actually another kind of compliment. Only such a tough character can make Fan Xian and the people around him live a better life.

As a bystander who has nothing to do with himself, Zhou Ji appreciates this kind of person, but now that he has come to the world of Qing Yu Nian, he has to have reservations about this person.

Fan Xian also noticed that Zhou Ji was a little distant despite being close to him, and he was a little confused but didn't think much about it.

He grew up in Danzhou, and even though he has memories of past lives, he has never experienced the darkness of the human heart in either his past life or this life.

He is full of kindness to the world and people. Even if it is the fat housekeeper who poisons him under Danzhou, he will still intercede for him in front of the old lady and spare his life.

Optimistic and sunny, even a bit saintly.

If Fan Xian in the novel inherited all the evil thoughts of Emperor Qing, then Fan Xian in the film and television series inherited all the good thoughts of Ye Qingmei.

Zhou Ji knew nothing about this.

Even if he caught a hint of disagreement during their first meeting, he just assumed that Fan Xian was too excited and did not delve into the changes in the other person's personality.

On the other side, Guo Baokun was obviously well prepared. He blocked the street in the West Market and talked loudly in front of the gate of Yishiju. He opened his mouth and kept saying, "Filthy and miscellaneous books should be banned."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Fan Xian, quite provocatively.

"Nonsense!"

What Zhou Ji and Guo Baokun didn't expect was that when Hong Lou was humiliated, the first person to speak out was Fan Xian's younger brother Fan Sizhe.

I saw him calling Guo Baokun by name with an indignant look on his face, and said angrily: "Guo Baokun, you are talking nonsense!"

After that, he quickly went downstairs, seemingly going to argue with Guo Baokun.

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Who does this Guo Baokun associate with on weekdays?"

Fan Jian was the Minister of Household Affairs and a minister of Conglong of the then Qing Emperor. Fan Ruoruo was not too worried about Fan Sizhe and explained from the side: "He was once the companion of the East Palace, and he was considered to be under the prince's command."

"It's the prince again." Fan Xian suddenly looked at the two people arguing downstairs.

"Is this related to the prince?" Fan Ruoruo frowned slightly. If it was just the son of the Minister of Rites and the son of the Minister of Hubu arguing on the street, it would not matter. But if it involves the East Palace, then the meaning is somewhat unclear.

Zhou Ji laughed at the side and said: "Your brother has a marriage in Kyoto. If it happens, the vitality of the East Palace will be greatly damaged. Do you think he has anything to do with the prince?"

"You also know this?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

Zhou Ji smiled but did not answer, pointed at the increasingly excited Fan Sizhe, changed the subject and said, "Guo Baokun is obviously coming for you, and there is a prince behind you. If you don't show up, I'm afraid this kid will suffer a big loss."

"It doesn't matter, Guo Baokun can't recognize me." Looking at Fan Sizhe being detained by the guards of the Guo Mansion, Teng Zijing was about to take action but was stopped by Fan Xian.

"He is only provoking me to force me to show up. It won't help if you take action." Fan Xian said solemnly, "You are upstairs first. I'm afraid his men will recognize you."

After saying that, he looked at Fan Ruoruo, as if he wanted her to stay upstairs as well.

Fan Ruoruo looked worried. She wanted to follow but was afraid of causing trouble to Fan Xian.

Zhou Ji unfolded his sleeves, picked up the sword box beside him, stood up and said, "If this girl wants to go down, let's go together, I will protect you."

Fan Xian nodded to Zhou Ji and thanked him, then turned and walked downstairs.

Fan Ruoruo and Zhou Ji followed closely behind, and when they walked downstairs, the Guo Mansion guard had already made a bold move, knocking Fan Sizhe several meters away with one punch.

Fan Xian caught Fan Sizhe and put the strength he was carrying at his feet. When he raised his eyes to look at Guo Baokun, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

The person who took action had no less than six levels of martial arts, and his attacks were ruthless.

If he had failed to catch Fan Sizhe just now, I'm afraid he would have broken at least a few bones.

"Ha~ turns out to be the illegitimate son raised by Uncle Si Nan in Danzhou?" Guo Baokun sneered and said disdainfully.

After saying that, he looked at Fan Ruoruo who was walking out of the door. The disdain on his face turned into a fake smile and he said sarcastically, "Hey, Miss Ruoruo is here too? Alas, although Miss Ruoruo is talented, it's a pity that she has such a useless brother. It's really

It’s deplorable.”

As for Zhou Ji next to Fan Ruoruo, he just regarded him as an ordinary wanderer and didn't even look at him.

Zhou Ji was not interested in the process of Fan Xian's costume competition. The real reason for going downstairs was to feel the power of the internal energy of this world up close.

Different from other martial arts he had seen, the air was turbulent when Fan Xian struck, erupting into a very messy and strange wave. Although invisible to the naked eye, it could directly injure the opponent's inner abdomen.

Is this the so-called ‘radiation energy’?

Zhou Ji was surprised.

I vaguely remember that in the original work, the true energy in this world is stored in the blood vessels, and the Dantian is only used as a transfer to absorb it, which is completely different from traditional martial arts practice.

Since there are differences, there is the possibility of learning from them.

Zhou Ji became more and more curious about radiation energy, but he didn't know if he could practice it and what impact it would have after practice.

However, these will have to wait until he returns from the temple. Before the safety is determined, it is better to try not to come into contact with these high-radiation things.

On the carriage back home, everyone really announced their names.

After chatting along the way, Zhou Ji gradually felt that Fan Xian's character was not as calm and dark as he originally imagined. Although he was a bit clever, he was quite sincere in his dealings with others, which was very different from the original work.

Forget it, just think of it as another Fan Xian in the parallel world. Putting aside his inherent prejudices, Zhou Ji began to face this new world, and his relationship with Fan Xian became closer and closer.

"So you traveled through time in 2020?" Zhou Ji's heart was filled with turmoil. He clearly remembered that the time he traveled through time was September 20, 2012.

Fan Sizhe and Fan Ruoruo looked at the two people talking in low voices with strange expressions on the other side. Fan Sizhe turned his head and wanted to eavesdrop, but Fan Ruoruo twisted his ears and pulled him back.

"It hurts! Sister! It hurts!"

Being glared at by Fan Ruoruo, Fan Sizhe whispered: "Sister, what do you think their relationship is?"

Fan Ruoruo shook his head and said hesitantly: "I don't know, maybe it's a friend my brother made in Danzhou?"

"I can't see it. It's obvious that these two people don't know each other." Fan Sizhe curled his lips and whispered, "Look at the way Fan Xian's eyes are shining. Could it be... Could it be...

..”

The more Fan Sizhe talked, the weirder his eyes became. Before he finished speaking, he saw two slender fingers pinching his ears with ease, twisting and lifting them with great skill.

"How could you arrange your brother like this!" Fan Ruoruo's face turned red, and she thought of something again. She twisted her ears a little harder and said in embarrassment: "If you keep talking nonsense, go back to your house and take care of me!"

"Ah? Why?" Fan Sizhe said aggrievedly, "I just want to say that Young Master Zhou and Brother Fan... seem to be pen pals who only exchange letters and have never met before."
